Morse Micro, the world's leading provider of Wi-Fi HaLow chips, to partner with Heltec Automation to accelerate the delivery of Wi-Fi HaLow enabled devices. Heltec Automation has integrated Morse Micro's MM6108 Wi-Fi HaLow SoC into a suite of five highly differentiated products enabling new long-range connectivity, high data speeds, and energy-efficient performance for industrial and commercial IoT.
"This partnership marks a step in advancing IoT connectivity," said Michael De Nil, co-founder and CEO of Morse Micro. "By embedding our Wi-Fi HaLow technology into Heltec Automation's innovative products, we're enabling developers and end-users to harness robust, secure, and scalable wireless communications for a wide range of applications such as smart grid, industrial automation and smart cities."
This partnership combines Morse Micro's industry-leading wireless technology with Heltec Automation's expertise in hardware innovation to drive a new era of connectivity solutions. By setting new standards in transmission range, data speed, and power efficiency, Heltec's new Wi-Fi HaLow designs are poised to impact sectors ranging from smart cities and industrial automation to remote surveillance and intelligent manufacturing. Specifically, Heltec Automation has launched a new product line showcasing the versatility and power of Wi-Fi HaLow technology. It includes the following five products:
Wi-Fi HaLow Module (HT-HC01): A compact Wi-Fi HaLow module optimized for easy integration into a variety of PCBs, delivering excellent RF performance in the 902–928 MHz band. With long-range transmission, multiple channel bandwidth options, and low power consumption, the HT-HC01 module is ideally suited for battery-operated devices that require extended sleep modes without sacrificing connectivity.
ESP32 Wi-Fi HaLow Camera (HT-HC32): Built on the ESP32-S3 MCU with the HT-HC01 module, this development board offers high-speed (up to 32 Mbps) and long-range (over 1 km) wireless communication. It features a 200-pixel wide-angle camera with advanced image processing capabilities—including auto exposure and gain control—alongside support for Arduino development, integrated SD card storage, and comprehensive connectivity options.
HT-H7608 Wi-Fi HaLow Router / Gateway: Designed for intelligent manufacturing, smart cities, and more, this dual-band gateway supports both Wi-Fi HaLow and 2.4 GHz networks. Its flexible networking methods (AP, STA, Mesh) and robust hardware allow for easy configuration, OTA upgrades via web UI, and the simultaneous connection of a significantly higher number of devices than traditional access points.
Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi HaLow Camera HAT (Pi-CamLow): This purpose-built Raspberry Pi HAT integrates a 5MP camera and HT-HC01 Wi-Fi HaLow module, enabling rapid remote transmission of high-resolution images. With support for dynamic and static image capture and advanced imaging features, Pi-CamLow opens new possibilities for Raspberry Pi development in remote surveillance and other applications.
Wi-Fi HaLow Dongle – 802.11ah Long-Range Wireless Network Bridge: Engineered to replace Ethernet in select scenarios, this dongle leverages the HT-HD01 module and supports four bandwidth modes for maximum flexibility. Whether paired with the HT-H7608 router for star networking or used in point-to-point communication, the dongle provides seamless integration with existing networks.
"Heltec Automation is proud to join forces with Morse Micro," said Allen Ma, Commercial Director at Heltec Automation. "Integrating Wi-Fi HaLow into our product range not only reinforces our commitment to innovation but also empowers our customers with versatile, high-performance tools that redefine what's possible in IoT deployments."
